Chapter 79 - Can you call me by name? (2)

Translator: SKAIS Editor: Dict Groiler

“I’m sorry. …You must have been surprised.” Lenag suddenly said. He must have seen the terrified look on my face.

“No, no.” I waved my hand in front of him hurriedly to wipe away those thoughts. “It’s not something you have to apologize for.” I replied.

“…your brother turned the cell upside down once. I’m sure you’ve seen it.” Lenag told me and I nodded.

“Ahahaha. Yeah.” Of course, I felt like my brother wandered inside the prison ignoring the rules and procedures, just like what he did but…

“It certainly seemed like that. I was afraid he would hurt you.” Lenag hesitated before carefully adding, “…I told him to stop one more time.”

“No…” before I could finish my reply, Lenag bowed slightly to my dissuasion.

“It’s my job to make you feel comfortable…but I was doing a poor job.” He told me with a somber look on his face.

I sighed. I’m afraid I don’t know what to do when I see this big man sulking before me. That gold-colored eye showed a feeling of regret, which made me even more at a loss on what to say to comfort him.

I wanted to ask him but I dare not say those words out loud.

“Eh? Of course.” I said, then Lenag’s eyes rolled on me.

The villain, who was one and a half bigger than me, came silently facing me with sharp eyes as if he was carefully watching me.

The gold irises of his had reminded of a snake while he stared at me, but his eyes looked more elegant than that of a snake.

“Then…” Lenag started.

“Eh?” I opened my eyes wide as I was looking at him expectantly. His eyes gradually faded into one color.

“Call me by my name. Will you do that for me?” This time, really, I saw it wrong.

“Just once.” This big villain was looking at me while rubbing his ears. Everything was so clear to me now.

“I’d like to be called by my name.” He told me.

“Ah.” I blinked.

No, what kind of situation was this?

The embarrassment spread through his cheeks, but he tilted his head down, while waiting for my response. I decided to grant his request after all, I thought, it wasn’t a difficult task for me.

“Uh, Prison Head Lenag?” I asked.

“You can leave out the title.”

“Mr. Lenag.” I repeated.

“You don’t have to use honorifics.”

What? Suddenly I felt scared. Why was he so insistent? He was a powerful man, do I dare?

I hesitated and at last corrected myself.

“Lenag?” I spoke carefully.

At that moment, there were cries!

I thought I heard a sound.

He turned his head away from me, but I saw it clearly. His cheeks were as red as a tomato.

No matter where I look at, his image right before me doesn’t seem to match that of a cold-blooded villain. In the book, the final villain’s subordinate was also the strongest commander-in-chief.

Still, I was confused.

“But why did you suddenly ask me to say your name? Well, uh, can I ask?”
